Kids, Husbands, and Chores
We have been undergoing a major kitchen renovation that we are doing ourselves. In all honesty, we probably should've written in to the DIY network's show "Renovation Realities" and had them come film our progress.
Because I've been the one doing the painting and such, Mike and the kids have taken on some of my weekly tasks to ease my burden. Isn't that sweet? Maybe, maybe not. I've been noticing a build-up of dust on the floors and have repeatedly asked that they be vacuumed. In the past couple of days when I ask, Mike will go and get the kids and after some whispered discussion, I'll hear the vacuum being run for a while. Today, after being chased by a dust bunny the size of a Great Dane, I struck out in search of my vacuum. The picture above is what I found. Duct tape - it can solve any problem.........but only if you actually cover the hole you broke in the sucker hose in multiple places.
Thinking I might just go out and buy a new vacuum, toss the broken one in the trash and act like the new one is my old vacuum - just to see how they react. I'm betting I'll have some rascally houseguests: Wasn't Me, I Didn't Do It, and I Don't Know.......
